Best-ever mince pie

Woolworths is committed to sustainability via our good business journey. Seasonal (and other) products might not always be in stock.

“Everyone loves mince pies, so why not supersize yours this year? Ingenious and delicious served with a jug of custard and coffee or dessert wine.”- Abigail Donnelly

Ingredients

200 g macadamia flour
60 g butter, melted until slightly browned and cooled
2 T sugar
1 t vanilla paste
1 free-range egg, beaten
1 x 450 g jar Woolworths fruit mincemeat
100 g Woolworths Christmas grapefruit marmalade with gin (or traditional marmalade)
50 g flaked almonds
icing sugar, for dusting

Cooking Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the flour into a bowl and mix in the butter, sugar, vanilla and egg. Knead to form a ball, then wrap in clingwrap and chill for 30 minutes.

2. Allow the dough to soften slightly, then roll out between two pieces of greaseproof paper into a roundish shape. Place on a lined baking tray.

3. Spoon in the mincemeat and marmalade, leaving a 5 cm border around the edges. Fold the border over. Sprinkle over the nuts and bake for 35 minutes. Dust with icing sugar to serve.
